We also bent a small hoop to clear the PS box. This would not have been an issue if I had stretched my fenders and kept the grill in the stock position. Since I chopped the grill, it actually sits 1-2" further back than stock.
We also took 2" out of the bars that we have holding the rear up. It sits much more level now and it could stand to lose another 1" out of the rear.
I still think it's up way too high and think it's because of the coils. The 5.5" coils are the first set that BC ever sold - Keith took them off of his rig since they were way too stiff and we thought with the extra weight on mine they may work out. There is still a lot of space between all of the coils - they haven't settled like most and the top 2 or 3 coils touch. Plus they're probably mounted a little higher than stock due to the CAGE brackets I used compared to the stock coil bucket. Any ideas or suggestions? I wish I had another set of 5.5" coils to try and compare.
